Put some food in your stomach, and take Azathioprine with a glass of water and rest while you digest the pills, helps prevent nausea. For me thinning hair initially, then regrowth, now thick.Taken for 7 years with good management provided

Hey there :) I've been in Imuran for about 6 years. The worst side effect I've had is nausea, but that's only when I take more than 100mg. My hair has thinned, but I'm not sure if that was because of lupus or Imuran.
